Out of curiosity, what brought you to swim?
I'm a fitness swimmer now and do OW races for fun. I began swimming as an alternative to running, I had taken a swim class in college that demonstrated routines and corrected my form enough to do well without getting frustrated or feel intimidated. When I had trouble running I would go swim instead. I began swimming regularly to train for the Long beach triathlon years ago. Now I enjoy swimming just as much as running...it's a new challenge as well as a great stress release for me. I'm just finishing up my credential and will be transitioning from a career in IT to teaching, which means that i'll be open to joining a masters team soon! Wohoo!
Here's the question....
Why did you start?
When?
What's your day job?

What brought me to love swimming was actually being forced into a coaching position when I was younger. Up til that point it was just a hobby/past-time, etc. I was "encouraged" to start my own team during that time period, so I did. From then on, it has been a passion and will always be part of my life (and my kids' lives as well...whether they like it or not :D)
My day job...aquatic director and head coach...I guess it fits the bill, huh?!
